Packaging it under the Java Team would be most welcome. That said, we
will generally rely on you to do the "day-to-day" maintenance of the

The great thing about putting packages under the team is that it
allows us (i.e. the team) to be more agile when deploying changes that
affect many packages (e.g. Java6 -> Java7 transition).
